What is vegan tzatziki made of? ›

Tzatziki is a salted yogurt and cucumber dip that's made of strained yogurt, shredded cucumber, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and herbs. Authentic Greek tzatziki is most often made with sheep or goat yogurt, but my tzatziki recipe calls for regular full-fat Greek yogurt.

"I wanted a tangy Tzatziki sauce, but didn't have any plain yogurt on hand. This recipe is made with sour cream instead of plain yogurt, and tastes WONDERFUL!"

Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator (where it will thicken) up to 5 days, sometimes longer depending on freshness of yogurt. This Tzatziki is delicious on its own, but it also pairs well with Greek-inspired recipes like these Traditional Vegan Falafel, Tabbouleh Salads, Shawarma Sandwiches, or Buddha Bowls.

What can I use instead of Greek yogurt vegan? ›

If you want a dairy-free Greek yogurt substitute, try coconut yogurt, almond milk yogurt, or soy yogurt.

Tzatziki will last about four days in the fridge before it starts to go bad. While you can freeze it, it will change a bit in regards to texture and consistency when it comes time to thawing it out.

Vegan yogurt is made from plant-based sources such as soy, coconut, oat, and cashews instead of dairy products. They come in a variety of textures such as regular, Greek, French, and kefir-style probiotic drinks, as well as flavors.

Absorb yourself in a bit of Greek culture when you serve these Vegan Gyros. This recipe consists of fluffy pita bread, filled with spiced, meaty mushrooms, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Finish it off with a desirable, garlicky, homemade Tzatziki sauce, and you'll have a tough time sharing.
